I expect some of you may have some locksmithing experience.
I called a locksmith to open my car and possibly make a trunk key (latch doesn't work key in trunk). After he opened the car I was able to remove the back seat and unscrew the paneling between me and the boot and got the key, but he had ordered and paid for stuff relating to the key, when I told him he got kinda pissed and huffy.

I finished getting my keys out and tried to use them but viola they don't. My key is old and my trunk lock is shitty, but I have had trouble, but never failure.

I had heard the locksmith fiddling around but it could have been with the forms/papers and tools. I am worried that he might of deliberately damaged the lock.

Possible?

A spray type lubricant Might help.

People use power locks so much that the actual lock cylinders get sticky.
